Title: U.S. International HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Spending: FY2004-FY2008
Authors: Tiaji Salaam-Blyther, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: From FY2004 through FY2008 Congress provided almost $20 billion to fighting the global spread of HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria, some $5 billion more than the President proposed. The President's FY2008 budget request included about $5.8 billion for global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria efforts. The Administration proposed that the bulk of the funds, about $5.0 billion, be provided through Foreign Operations appropriations and that about $800 million be provided through Labor/HHS appropriations, of which $300 million would be reserved for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund. Congress exceeded the President's request by some $560 million, providing $6.3 billion for global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria efforts, including some $840 million for a U.S. contribution to the Global Fund. This report reviews U.S. appropriations for treatment and prevention of the three diseases from FY2004 through FY2008. The report will not be updated; PEPFAR authorization expires in FY2008.
